-Future Preparedness explores how to prototype a range of possible futures and experience them as real, physical situations. By immersing ourselves in these situations, that we call future 'prehearsals' or 'pre-enactments', we cultivate mindsets and behaviours that can help us adapt to diverse and unpredictable futures. This case study builds on futurist scenario planning and ancient meditation practices, as well as age-old sideshows, anachronistic re-enactments and contemporary  disaster drills. We sketch our future lives as improvised, participatory experiences and test them in a number of near future scenarios.
